[jmorlock]

I have windows 2000 installed on my computer and I want to downgrade to win 98 for betatesting purposes. How do I reformat the hard drive or get so I can run setup on the 2000 machine?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Insert the Windows98 CD and use fdisk and format.

Are you sure you would not rather dual-boot the machine?

Any partitioning software which will remove 2k partition - fdisk, delpart, PM etc (unless its fat32, then just need to (re)format it - from a 98 boot floppy or as bcastner says, booting from 98 install CD - choose boot the machine with CD support (not start the install process). Once reformatted, I'm sure you can install 98 no problem.
